Benefits of pet stairs
Pet stairs can be an invaluable tool in assisting your pet onto a favorite chair, bed, or any elevated area your pet has difficulty accessing because of weight, age, or illness. Pet stairs help make daily activities less painful.

The Lightweight Pet Stair is formed from two solid pieces of expanded polystyrene. Removable and washable zippered cover features durable 7 oz poly/cotton twill sides and bottom. The top is covered with imitation lambswool material to provide a soft non-slip surface for climbing the stairs.

A key feature of the Lightweight Pet Stair is the low stair risers. Other pet stairs have a riser height suited more for people rather than pets. The lower riser height places less strain on stiff joint and muscles, making it easier for older or arthritic pets to climb these stairs.

Instructions for Washing
Remove cover and place in your washer and dryer each time it's soiled. Do not bleach.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SanBoss Perfect for older cats
Two 15-year-old brother tabby cats live with us. One has arthritis and the other lost his confidence with heights and stairs after one of his back legs was amputated. These stairs are of the perfect rise, spacing and fabric texture for them both. The world of sunny window sills and high perches is once again available to them. I appreciate the lightness and portability of the steps, too - they can be moved easily to different locations. I'd tried several other steps, but the slope was too abrupt or the surface too slippery. Good product and solution for our problem. Thank you.

Rated 5 out of 5 by larsenfolk The product was easy to use
We like the pet stairs very much. We have a Lhasa Apso who jumps up on our bed which is quite high for her short little legs, but she was afraid to jump down off it. It took just a few times to train her to use the steps and now she goes down them without a problem. These steps are just what she needed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Justineeo Kitty loves these stairs!
The stairs were super easy to put together and the kitty knew immediately they were for her. She is getting a ton of use out of them. She also loves the large box they were shipped in! This product is exactly as pictured and described.

We have wood floors in the area where the steps are and we had to put a small carpet to help it not to slide. It would be better on a carpeted area. It is so light that is does move when the dog goes down.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the Indoor Pet Stairs do not have a non skid bottom and it is possible that they will slide when used on hardwood floors without some sort of traction under them.

Answer:

The 6 step unit goes up to 27". If your dog can jump up and down the top 5", this should work for you and the steps should not be too tall for your Yorkie. You could also put the steps onto a sturdy board about 2" thick and reduce the jump to 3". MAKE SURE that the steps and board are tightly secured to each other so they don't slip apart.

I bought the 6 step unit, but found it too high. I needed a "5" stepper - so I used a serrated knife to cut the top / half step off. Folded the extra fabric down and over the back side of the step ramp and pinned it down. It is now the correct height for my use.

My bed is only 23" high & I have the 4 step which is 18" high. The difference between the top step & my bed is like the 5th step. Not sure if the next size is tall enough for your bed. Check the measurements.

Thank you for your question. We do not offer any pet steps that would be 32" high, however we offer the 4-Step Pet Steps that are 30.5" high, and most pets would be able to step up to your bed. This item may be seen at the below link:

Answer:

Unless you put a non-slip waffle type mat like you would put under a rug on hardwood floors, I wouldn't use these stairs. They are too light weight and will move when the dog is going down them. Just my opinion.

I have a 7 month Bichon and she comes down the stairs sideways. She puts her feet on the lower step and dropsher back end down on the step. That's how she comes down all the steps. What width size step would yourecommend for her? She weighs 10 pounds. My bed is high so I probably need the 6 step.

Answers

Answer:

She will probably outgrow the sideways stepping... but who knows for sure? We built a ramp for my Mini Schnauzer who hates steps and now she just just takes a deep breath and runs up the steps. The ramp is left to the puppy who uses it for a launch pad to the bed!

The four step height reaches a waterbed with drawers under it. 6 steps may be too high - check the actual height you need.

My ramps (10 yrs. old) are 15 inches wide. I would be concerned she might get too close to the edge and tumble off. I would either enclose the unit (I had my carpenter build walls around the ramp for my near-blind dog) or get a doggie ramp without steps.

Thank you for your question. The steps on all sizes of these stairs are 6" deep. To choose which one would work best, measure your bed from floor to top of the mattress and choose the stairs that work closest with that height.
